In depth

Verdict

Kung Hei Fat Choy will be winning again soon judged on his recent efforts over a mile at this track. He's gone close the last twice and had Piceno well behind last time, but the latter broke a blood vessel on that occasion and found only one too good over track and trip either side of that. The aforementioned pair will most likely dominate the betting but MARCIANO could prove better value. Alan Brown's charge has not been disgraced in a couple of start on the Polytrack for new connections and may well take to this surface on the evidence of his victory in testing ground at Chantilly last year. Arabian Flight steps up in class having won here three weeks ago but is still preferred to maiden winner Barbados Bob.
